Greetings all, I would very much appreciate some advice re a 2003 model Sixty 5. This bike has recently come in to my possession and when running makes one hell of a clattering noise. I checked valve clearances and as they were all OK so decided to remove the top end for a look see. All the valve gear including push rods, springs, guides etc. were fine so I then removed the barrel. Bore very good and piston condition fine no detectable play in the con rod just a mm or so side to side (like in an arc).
Having no experience with these bikes are they just that noisy ? my 1952 BSA B31 sounds like a sewing machine by comparison! Any advice very much appreciated; thank you.
